- In a phew philes on this system some
- of the recipes need a still, well here
- is how to make a still:
-
- Once you get the chemicals, ingred
- ients, or what ever, you set up your
- still. It is small, efficient, and
- safe. In it you can make things like
- tear gas, prussic acide and occasionaly
- distill some alcohol.
-
- First, a flask is fitted with a
- one-holw rubber stopper. A short length
- of thin glass tubing is inserted into
- the hole. A five foot length of thin
- rubber tubing is fitted over the glass
- tube and coiled into the ice bucket and
- out through a hole near the bottom. The
- end of the tube is fitted over another
- glass tube which is in a two-hole stopp
- er stuck into a bottle. The other hole
- contains another glass tube to which is
- attached another length of tubing long
- enougb to reach outside to get rid of
- any noxious or poisonous fumes.
-
- The equipment for a still is cheap
- and simple to get. Most of it can be
- bought from your local drug store.
- They carry tubing, stoppers, glassware
- and many chemicals which they freely
- sell to doctors, students etc. If you
- get on good terms with your druggist
- and he doesn't know you are crazy you
- can buy most of your stuph from him.
-
- A ring stand or tripod for the flask
- is more handy than the can in the
- illustration (see below). But a tin can
- with strips cut out of it for ventilat
- ion and for the removal of the lamp is
- usually adequate.
-
- CHECKLIST OF EQUIPMENT:
-
- <1> alcohol lamp.
- <2> ring stand, tripod or tin can.
- <3> 500 ml or larger flask
- <4> assortment of one and two-hole
- holeless rubber stoppers of various
- sizes.
- <5> about six yards of 3/16 of an inch
- (inside diameter) rubber tubing.
- <6> about a foot of six millimeter
- (outside diameter) laboratory glass
- tubin.
- <7> child's plastic bucket
- <8> receiving bottle.
-
-
- The hole in the bucket for the tube
- is made somewhat smaller than the tube
- so it will fit snugly and prevent
- leakage. Full strength wood alcohol for
- the lamp can be bought at the drug stor
- e. Rubbing alcohol, although 30% water
- will burn in the lamp but not so well.
- You can distill the purt alcohol off
- the water from rubbing alcohol.
-
- This is best done over a gas or
- electric stove. First a large pan with
- a couple of inches of water in it is
- put on the burner to be used and the
- others are turned off.
-
- The still is set up as the illustra
- tion except the receiving bottle is
- larger and doesn't need a stopper or
- tube going outside. The flask is filled
- with rubbing alcohol to just under the
- neck and set in teh pan of boiling
- water.
-
- In this setup a coathanger wire
- with a loop in its middle is put over
- the neck of the flask and fixed on the
- sides of the pan. This is necessary
- because as the alcohol distills off,
- the flask gets lighter andb would rise
- in the water and fall over without
- support.
-
- Another consideration is to make
- sure the tube does not flop over and
- collapse. This can be prevented by
- hanging a string from the ceiling by
- which the tubing is held above the
- flask.
-
- The tubing should be further support
- ed so it does not touch the hot edge
- of the pan. If it is allowed to lie
- over the edge it will melt.
-
- When the action starts the alcohol
- will fairly flow into the collecting
- bottle. When it stops all that is left
- in the flask will be water. If left
- alone water would start dripping, much
- slower than the alcohol, but this is
- not wanted.
-
- This is the only case where you
- should distill over a stove. A stove
- is harder to control than an alcohol
- lamp. It is also harder to clean up
- than a table in case of an accident.
